Former governor Dzikamai Mavhaire is under investigation amid revelations that he has been working with large companies earmarked for take over under the controversial indigenisation policy.
Mavhaire has been fingered as the culprit after he allegedly blocked the take over of Bikita minerals, claiming he had shares in the country’s sole lithium producer.
Mavhaire said the company could not be made to cede its shares to locals when he had already taken a stake in the mine.
Sources within Zanu (PF) said Mavhaire had also blocked companies in Masvingo from honouring their pledge for the launch of the community share ownership scheme.
When the Masvingo community share ownership scheme was launched, several companies, among them Murowa diamond, Tungaat Hullet, Bikita minerals and Renco Mine had pledged to release funds but so far nothing has materialised.
“We hold him responsible for blocking these companies from honouring their pledge,” said a highly placed source with Zanu (PF). “We want to get to the bottom of the matter and once found guilty he risks losing his post in the party.”
Mavhaire refused to comment on the issue.
COPAC co-chairman, Paul Munyaradzi Mangwana, once clashed with Mavhaire when he refused to declare the source of his funds as a shareholder in Bikita minerals.
“He should tell us where he got the money from,” said Mangwana. “We do not want sell outs in this indigenisation programme who are just fronted by the whites for personal gain.”
Mavhaire, a former Masvingo governor, is the secretary for production and labour in the Zanu (PF) politburo.

“He should tell us where he got the money from,†said Mangwana.
Umm what chick, meanwhile he is not asking Mpofu where he got his millions from to buy half of Vic Falls and a bank.
